The O'Brian Place, Irish Hill PA by Michelle Montes

I sent off the 8x10 painting that I did on the prototype substrate to California, but I really loved working with the image, so I did it on a full sheet of LaCarte paper with Sennelier and Pastel Carre". I stayed up till 4:00am working on this because I was so moved with the subject matter. I haven't done that since Graduate school! I have already taken slides and framed it. Now, I have two more pieces of LaCarte paper left, so I think I am going to get myself busy tonight and do a few more paintings.
